Didn't Love You Enough
Chapter 12
At noon, when they returned to Pingle Park, Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao ate lunch together.
Xuanyuan Hancheng kept feeding Jia Bao more food until Lin Jiabao couldn't eat anymore.
Xuanyuan Hancheng wanted to fatten up his baby.
After building a good foundation for his baby in one or two years, he would be able to eat.
When he thought of that day, he couldn't help but feel restless.
In the future, he still wanted to have children with Jia Bao. Once Jia Bao's health improved, it would be safer for him in the future.
After lunch, Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled Lin Jiabao to the imperial garden for a stroll to help with digestion.
Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that Lin Jiabao had been in the palace for almost two years, but he had never been to the imperial garden.
The palace had strict rules and didn't allow palace servants to wander around. There were many palace servants who had been in the palace for more than ten years and hadn't left the palace.
Xuanyuan Hancheng brought Jia Bao to see the scenery of the imperial garden. Lin Jiabao was very excited and happy, looking left and right along the way.
Xuanyuan Hancheng saw that Lin Jiabao was so happy. "When spring comes, the scenery here will be even more beautiful. There are really all kinds of rare and beautiful flowers here."
"Mm, mm!
It's really beautiful … Ah!
There's a small pavilion over there! "Lin Jiabao pointed at a pavilion not far away.
Xuanyuan Hancheng saw the pavilion and stopped in his tracks.
This was the place where he first met Lin Jiabao in his previous life. He had stopped here countless times to reminisce.
Xuanyuan Hancheng watched as Lin Jiabao ran to the pavilion. He turned around and said to him, "Your Highness, let's go sit in the pavilion."
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Lin Jiabao's faint smile, and his heart was in a trance.
Xuanyuan Hancheng quickly walked into the pavilion, hugged Lin Jiabao, and kissed him deeply. Only when Jia Bao was out of breath did he release him.
Lin Jiabao felt that the kiss just now was different from before. It was as if he could feel the Crown Prince's uneasiness.
His Highness the Crown Prince looked into his eyes. There was something he couldn't understand, and it made his chest feel stuffy.
"Husband …" Lin Jiabao buried his head in the crown prince's chest and called out softly.
Although Lin Jiabao's voice was soft, Xuanyuan Hancheng still heard it, and his mood instantly improved.
Xuanyuan Hancheng led Lin Jiabao out of the pavilion. "Baby, let's go back and take a nap …"
"Okay." Lin Jiabao had already developed the habit of taking a nap. When the Crown Prince said this, he felt a little sleepy.
After returning to Pingle Park, Xuanyuan Hancheng let Lin Jiabao drink a cup of milk, and then hugged him to the bed for an afternoon nap.
After a while, Lin Jiabao's breathing calmed down, and he fell asleep.
Xuanyuan Hancheng had been resting with his eyes closed, and he didn't sleep.
Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged the person he loved and took a nap together. He greedily looked at Lin Jiabao's sleeping face, and his heart was abnormally satisfied.
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at him for a while, then quietly got up and went to the inner study to handle some business.
For the past two days, Xuanyuan Hancheng had been writing a report about the Luo River's Peach Blossom Flood.
The Peach Blossom Flood was also known as the Spring Flood. It referred to the Luo River in the Xuanyuan Empire, in Luo City, Li City, Huzhou, Jiangzhou, and other sections of the Luo River. During the spring months of February and March, it formed a flood due to the melting of ice.
When the river flowed downstream, it was the season when the peach blossoms bloomed, so it was known as the Peach Blossom Flood.
When spring returned to the land, peach blossoms would bloom all over the mountains and plains. The frozen banks of the Luo River would melt, and several sections of the river would join together, like a giant dragon surging through the waves.
This was a disaster for the people downstream, and many of them would become homeless.
Although the imperial court would allocate money every year to build dams and dams, the results were minimal in the face of the torrential flood.
Xuanyuan Hancheng planned to build dams in sections this year to divert the river and irrigate the farmland. In addition, he planned to dig two man-made canals. This would reduce the water resistance, and it would also facilitate water transportation.
Xuanyuan Hancheng had also done this in his previous life, but it was after he had been in power for more than ten years.
In his previous life, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, Dai Zhongheng, had come up with this idea. Dai Zhongheng was very talented and insightful in the field of water engineering, and he had also worked very hard to research it.
Unfortunately, although Dai Zhongheng had already come up with this idea when he was young, the Minister of Works at the time was rather conservative and didn't adopt it.
Dai Zhongheng's ambitions weren't realized, but he didn't give up. Instead, he carefully studied the situation of several sections of the Luo River, looking for the most suitable place to divert the river and build dams.
Finally, after Dai Zhongheng was promoted to Assistant Minister of Works, he stood his ground against all opposition and wrote a memorial to the emperor.
After Xuanyuan Hancheng approved the memorial, it took three years for the project to be completed.
After the project was completed, the common people were no longer threatened by the peach blossom flood, and the two canals that were dug had a far-reaching impact on the Xuanyuan Empire.
The significance of the two canals for water transportation didn't need to be said, and both sides of the canal were prosperous and lively.
In this life, Xuanyuan Hancheng wanted to complete this ahead of time. This matter wasn't only beneficial to the common people around the Luo River, but it was also crucial for him to deal with Prince Li.
After writing the memorial, Xuanyuan Hancheng prepared to discuss the details with his trusted aides the next day.
Thinking that his darling should be awake, Xuanyuan Hancheng got up and went back.
When Xuanyuan Hancheng returned to Pingle Park, Lin Jiabao had just woken up and was eating some snacks when he saw the crown prince. "Your Highness the Crown Prince didn't take an afternoon nap?"
Lin Jiabao woke up and didn't see the crown prince, so he was a bit disappointed.
He heard from Shu Ya that the crown prince went to the inner study and didn't want to disturb him.
"I slept for a while. I don't have the habit of taking afternoon naps.
But I'll slowly get used to it in the future. "
Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled Lin Jiabao's hand and ate the half-eaten snack in his hand, then licked his fingertips.
Lin Jiabao was embarrassed by Xuanyuan Hancheng's actions. "There's more here … all for you to eat." As he spoke, he pushed the plate in front of the crown prince.
Xuanyuan Hancheng raised his eyebrows. "The snacks in darling's hands are even more delicious."
In the reception pavilion, Shu Ya, Shu Qin, the Yuan Fu, and the Yuan Qing were all surprised to see the crown prince like this.
This … was this still the usually serious and calm crown prince who didn't show his emotions?
Xuanyuan Hancheng ignored the palace servants' expressions and continued to tease Lin Jiabao.
He calmly pulled Jia Bao's small hand and forced him to feed him the snacks.
After he finished eating the snacks, he licked Jia Bao's fingers clean one by one.
At this time, Lin Jiabao's small face looked as if it had been cooked through.
Even the old Yuan Fu, who was by the crown prince's side, felt that the crown prince was really … a pervert that he didn't even dare to imagine …
Shu Qin also thought that the crown prince was really scary. The way he looked at Young Master Lin was as if he wanted to eat him up.
Shu Qin suddenly remembered the rumor that the crown prince liked to eat human flesh, and his body shivered.
Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled Lin Jiabao out of the reception pavilion and into a small study in Pingle Park. "This is your small study. Do you like it?"
"Mine?
My study?
Really? "
Lin Jiabao happily looked at the exquisitely decorated study. There were many books on the bookshelf and the four treasures of the study on the table.
"I like it!
I like it very much! "Lin Jiabao happily replied.
He liked to read and study since he was young. Because he was a Shun 'er, he couldn't go to a private school to study.
Fortunately, his eldest brother would sometimes teach him how to read and read, and let him read his books at home.
Before he entered the palace, his eldest brother taught him all of a sudden, and he memorized a lot.
Lin Jiabao didn't even dare to dream of having a study like this.
"It's good that you like it. In the future, I will find a teacher for you from my school to teach you how to read, write, paint, and so on." Xuanyuan Hancheng wanted to find a good teacher.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will study hard."
Lin Jiabao was very grateful to the crown prince. Apart from his family, the crown prince was the best person to him.
He would study hard and not disappoint the crown prince.
Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged Lin Jiabao. "What should you call me … um …"
Lin Jiabao looked around at Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing who had their heads lowered in silence. He lightly shook his head at His Highness the Crown Prince. His big round eyes seemed to be saying that it was against the rules to have someone here.
Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that Lin Jiabao was very obedient, so he waved his hand to dismiss the Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing. "You don't need to serve here. Go outside and wait."
After they left, Xuanyuan Hancheng saw that only the two of them were left. "Darling, it's only the two of us left …"
"Thank you, husband …" Lin Jiabao hugged Xuanyuan Hancheng's waist and looked up at him, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Come … darling, I'll teach you first today." Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled Lin Jiabao to the table.
"Okay, I'll grind the ink." Lin Jiabao began to grind the ink on the inkstone.
He used to help his older brother do this, so he was very skilled at grinding ink. It didn't take long for him to finish.
Xuanyuan Hancheng's eyes were full of smiles. It seemed that he could enjoy the pleasure of having a beautiful woman to accompany him in the future.
"Do you know how to write?
Can you write for me? "Xuanyuan Hancheng gave Lin Jiabao a brush dipped in ink and taught him how to hold it properly.
Lin Jiabao held the brush and was slightly unsteady. He wrote the three words "Lin Jiabao" stroke by stroke.
The words were very big and a little crooked.
Xuanyuan Hancheng bent down and hugged Jia Bao from behind. He held Lin Jiabao's hand and also wrote the three words "Lin Jiabao" on the rice paper.
"What beautiful handwriting."
Xuanyuan Hancheng's words were vigorous and powerful. Although Lin Jiabao didn't know how to write, he could see that the Crown Prince's handwriting was much better than his.
Xuanyuan Hancheng then wrote the four words "Xuanyuan Hancheng" next to Lin Jiabao's name on the rice paper. "My name."
Lin Jiabao carefully copied Xuanyuan Hancheng's handwriting.
He finished writing the four words. "Look, I've finished writing … my husband's name."
These four words had so many strokes that it was difficult to write. Lin Jiabao turned around and his lips inadvertently touched Xuanyuan Hancheng's face.
"It's so well written. Let my husband kiss it." Xuanyuan Hancheng naturally wouldn't let him go. He held Jia Bao's face and kissed it.
Starting from his eyebrows and eyes, he kissed his little nose and all the way to his cherry-red lips.
Xuanyuan Hancheng used his tongue to trace the shape of his baby's lips. Lin Jiabao's lips were wet from the licking and unconsciously opened slightly.
Xuanyuan Hancheng took the opportunity to reach into Jia Bao's mouth and suck on his baby's fragrant tongue.
"Mmm …"
Xuanyuan Hancheng's hands caressed Lin Jiabao's body. His hands gradually moved down to knead Lin Jiabao's perky butt.
Lin Jiabao felt his tongue go numb from being sucked and couldn't help but moan.
Xuanyuan Hancheng carried Lin Jiabao to the table. He looked at Lin Jiabao's flushed cheeks and started to linger on his little dimples.
"Baby, does your husband's kiss feel good?
Do you like it? "
Then he kissed Jia Bao's delicate neck, leaving little red marks. Lin Jiabao felt very comfortable being kissed, as if he was being held in the palm of his hand.
Lin Jiabao wrapped his arms around Xuanyuan Hancheng's neck. "It feels good … I like it … Husband … I really like it when you kiss me."
Xuanyuan Hancheng was angered by Lin Jiabao's soft words.
He could only take deep breaths and slowly calm down with Lin Jiabao in his arms.
"Baby, grow up quickly."
In this life, Xuanyuan Hancheng allowed Lin Jiabao to come to his side early. However, it was also a sweet torture to be able to see him but not have him …
"Wonderful … Truly wonderful … Your Highness, if this project is completed, it will be a great achievement for the people," Zheng Jia praised after seeing it.
Liu Zeqi also said to Dai Zhongheng, "Official Dai is really talented. I admire you."
Although Liu Zeqi didn't know much about construction, it was a project that could withstand the Peach Blossom Flood. Even the astute Zheng Jia praised it, so it couldn't be wrong.
"You're too kind … Official Liu is too kind. It's all because of Your Highness's advice.
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been able to complete this memorial. "Dai Zhongheng stood up and bowed to Liu Zeqi.
Dai Zhongheng never thought that one day, he would be able to sit together with the Crown Prince's trusted advisors in the Eastern Palace.
Dai Zhongheng was originally a small manager in the Ministry of Works. He was very passionate about water projects.
He had many ideas about the Peach Blossom Flood. He had also suggested to the Minister of Works that he wanted to build a dam and branch a canal.
However, the Minister was a conservative person. He thought that the project was too big and too bold, so he didn't accept his suggestion.
Dai Zhongheng was very disappointed that his ambitions couldn't be realized.
God took pity on him and allowed him to meet the Crown Prince by chance.
The Crown Prince wasn't as cold and heartless as the rumors said. Instead, he was very approachable and chatted with him about the Ministry of Works. When they talked about water projects, Dai Zhongheng boldly told him about his ideas for managing the Luo River.
He didn't think that the Crown Prince would agree with his ideas and even discuss them with him in depth.
The Crown Prince was very knowledgeable. Often, he would be enlightened with just a few pointers and solve all the problems that had been plaguing him for a long time.
After that, the Crown Prince sent him to investigate several sections of the Luo River. It took Dai Zhongheng nearly a year to complete the investigation.
After Dai Zhongheng returned to the capital, he carefully wrote a memorial and handed it to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince also attached great importance to it. After many discussions, they finally came up with the memorial written by the Crown Prince.
Dai Zhongheng had a feeling that he was dying for his bosom friend.
"Dai Zhongheng, you don't need to be humble. My pointers alone aren't enough. You have put in a lot of effort and effort. In the future, you will be a great contributor." Xuanyuan Hancheng walked down from the main seat and patted Dai Zhongheng's shoulder.
"Your Highness, the project this time is huge and will take a long time. It will also require a lot of manpower.
It seems that we will need to enlist soldiers for military service. This will be a great burden on the common people. "Zheng Jia analyzed.
"Yes. Enlisting soldiers for military service is definitely not enough. I plan to involve both the military and the people.
If all the resources are placed on the common people and the agriculture is neglected, the gains will not make up for the losses. "Xuanyuan Hancheng said.
"Using soldiers to repair the dams?" Liu Zeqi was also interested.
"Haha, that's great. I was just worried that I didn't have a good excuse to send soldiers to Luo City." Zheng Jia had already guessed the Crown Prince's idea.
"Tell me quickly.
What's going on? "Liu Zeqi still didn't understand.
"I think Your Highness wants to send soldiers to Luo City and a few other cities to station soldiers and build the dams.
This way, not only can the dams be built to benefit the common people, it can also guard against Prince Li, and it can also be used to spy on the situation in Li City. "Zheng Jia analyzed.
"Zheng Jia is right. Li City will enlist soldiers in the kilns and will order Prince Li to send soldiers to build the dams and dig the canals.
This way, Prince Li won't be able to control his own army in the short term. "Xuanyuan Hancheng said. Without an army in his hands, Prince Li would be like a toothless tiger.
Zheng Jia rolled his eyes. "When the dams and canals are being built, the army from Li City's vassal state will be dispersed. This way, Prince Li won't be able to do anything."
"Haha, this Luo River Water Conservancy Project is really killing two birds with one stone." Liu Zeqi finally understood.
"Zeqi, this time I will ask Imperial Father to send you.
Dai Zhongheng, you too. Go back and prepare well. The imperial edict will be announced tomorrow morning. "Xuanyuan Hancheng said to them.
"Yes.
We definitely won't let you down. "Liu Zeqi and Dai Zhongheng said in unison.
"It's getting late. You two should go back and prepare." Xuanyuan Hancheng prepared to go have lunch with his darling.
"You can all disperse."
Xuanyuan Hancheng returned to Pingle Park and had lunch with Lin Jiabao. They enjoyed the pleasure of feeding each other. The sweet atmosphere made the palace servants not dare to look at each other.
After that, Xuanyuan Hancheng accompanied Lin Jiabao to take an afternoon nap.
Xuanyuan Hancheng only slept for a short while before he quietly got up.
He took the imperial edict to the imperial study. Xuanyuan Hancheng and Imperial Father stayed in the imperial study for an entire afternoon.
On the morning of the third day, the Crown Prince proposed to build the dams of the Luo River to prevent the peach blossom flood and dig the canals.
The Emperor announced that the Ministry of Revenue would allocate funds to enlist corvee soldiers in Luo City, Li City, Jiangzhou, and Huzhou.
The Crown Prince also sent troops to Luo City to build the dams and dig the canals together with the people.
Liu Zeqi was appointed as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and led 20,000 soldiers. Liu Zeqi was in command of the troops sent from Li City and other places.
Dai Zhongheng was appointed as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works and was in charge of the Luo River project.
Liu Zeqi and Dai Zhongheng went forward to receive the titles. Dai Zhongheng was especially excited. He had actually been promoted twice in a row.
Dai Zhongheng felt the envious and jealous gazes of the people around him. He swore that he would do his job well and not disappoint the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
At noon, they returned to Pingle Park. Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao had lunch together.
Xuanyuan Hancheng kept feeding Jia Bao more food until Lin Jiabao couldn't eat anymore.
Xuanyuan Hancheng wanted to fatten up his darling.
He would be able to eat once he built a good foundation for his darling in the next one or two years.
Whenever he thought of that day, he would feel restless.
In the future, he still wanted to have children with Jia Bao. Once Jia Bao's health improved, it would be safer in the future.
After lunch, Xuanyuan Hancheng took Lin Jiabao to the imperial garden for a stroll to digest the food.
Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that Lin Jiabao had been in the palace for almost two years, but he had never been to the imperial garden.
The rules in the palace were very strict. Palace servants were not allowed to wander around. There were many palace servants who had been in the palace for more than ten years and had never left the palace.
Xuanyuan Hancheng took Jia Bao to see the scenery of the imperial garden. Lin Jiabao was very excited and happy. He looked around and looked around.
Xuanyuan Hancheng saw that Lin Jiabao was so happy. "The scenery here will be even more beautiful next spring. There are really all kinds of rare and beautiful flowers."
"Yes, yes!
It's really beautiful … Ah!
There's a small pavilion over there! "Lin Jiabao pointed at a pavilion not far away.
Xuanyuan Hancheng saw the pavilion and stopped in his tracks.
This was the place where he first met Lin Jiabao in his previous life. He had stopped here countless times to reminisce.
Xuanyuan Hancheng watched as Lin Jiabao ran to the pavilion. He turned around and said to him, "Your Highness, let's go sit in the pavilion."
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Lin Jiabao's faint smile and felt a wave of absent-mindedness.
Xuanyuan Hancheng quickly walked into the pavilion and hugged Lin Jiabao. He kissed him deeply until Jia Bao was out of breath.
Lin Jiabao felt that the kiss just now was different from before. It was as if he could feel the Crown Prince's uneasiness.
There was something in the Crown Prince's eyes that he couldn't understand. It made his chest feel stuffy.
"Husband …" Lin Jiabao buried his head in the Crown Prince's chest and called out softly.
Although Lin Jiabao's voice was soft, Xuanyuan Hancheng still heard it. His mood instantly improved.
Xuanyuan Hancheng held Lin Jiabao's hand and walked out of the pavilion. "Darling, let's go back and take a nap …"
"Okay." Lin Jiabao had already developed the habit of taking a nap. He felt a little sleepy after hearing the Crown Prince's words.
After returning to Pingle Park, Xuanyuan Hancheng let Lin Jiabao drink a cup of milk. Then, he hugged him and went to bed for an afternoon nap.
After a while, Lin Jiabao's breathing calmed down and he fell asleep.
Xuanyuan Hancheng had his eyes closed the entire time. He didn't sleep.
Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged the person he loved and took a nap. He greedily looked at Lin Jiabao's sleeping face. He felt exceptionally satisfied.
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at him for a while before quietly getting up and going to the inner study to handle some work.
For the past two days, Xuanyuan Hancheng had been writing a memorial about the Luo River's Peach Blossom Flood.
The Peach Blossom Flood was also known as the Spring Flood. It referred to the Luo River in the Xuanyuan Empire in Luo City, Licheng, Huzhou, Jiangzhou, and other parts of the river. It was a flood caused by the melting of ice in the spring of February and March.
When the river flowed downstream, it was the season when the peach blossoms bloomed. It was also known as the Peach Blossom Flood.
When spring returned to the land, peach blossoms bloomed all over the mountains and plains. The frozen banks of the Luo River melted, and several sections of the river joined together. It was like a huge dragon raising waves.
At this time, it was a disaster for the people downstream. Many people would become homeless.
Although the imperial court would allocate money to build dams every year, it had little effect in the face of the torrential flood.
Xuanyuan Hancheng planned to build dams in sections this year to divert the river and irrigate the farmland. In addition, he planned to dig two man-made canals. This would reduce the resistance and make it easier for water transportation.
Xuanyuan Hancheng had also done this in his previous life. However, it was after he had been in power for more than ten years.
This idea came from Dai Zhongheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works in his previous life. Dai Zhongheng was very talented and insightful in water projects.
Unfortunately, although Dai Zhongheng had this idea when he was young, the minister of the Ministry of Works was rather conservative and didn't adopt it.
Dai Zhongheng's ambitions didn't come to fruition, but he didn't give up. Instead, he studied the situation of several sections of the Luo River more carefully to find the most suitable place to divert the river and build dams.
Finally, after Dai Zhongheng was promoted to assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, he stood his ground and wrote a memorial to the emperor.
After Xuanyuan Hancheng approved the memorial, it took three years for the project to be completed.
After the project was completed, the people were no longer threatened by the Peach Blossom Flood. The two canals that were dug had a profound effect on the Xuanyuan Empire.
There was no need to talk about the significance of the two canals for water transportation. Both sides of the canals were prosperous and lively.
In this life, Xuanyuan Hancheng wanted to complete these projects ahead of time. This matter wasn't only beneficial to the people around the Luo River, it was also crucial for him to deal with Prince Li.
After writing the memorial, Xuanyuan Hancheng prepared to discuss the details with his trusted aides the next day.
Thinking that his darling should be awake, Xuanyuan Hancheng got up and went back.
When Xuanyuan Hancheng returned to Pingle Park, Lin Jiabao had just woken up and was eating some snacks when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince. "Your Highness the Crown Prince didn't take an afternoon nap?"
When Lin Jiabao woke up and didn't see His Highness the Crown Prince, he was somewhat disappointed.
He heard from Shu Ya that His Highness the Crown Prince went to the inner study and didn't want to disturb him.
"I slept for a while. I don't have the habit of taking afternoon naps.
However, I'll slowly get used to it in the future. "
Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled Lin Jiabao's hand and ate the half-eaten snack in his hand. He even licked his fingertips.
Lin Jiabao was embarrassed by Xuanyuan Hancheng's actions. "There's more here … all for you to eat." As he spoke, he pushed the plate in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Xuanyuan Hancheng raised his eyebrows. "The snacks in darling's hands are even more delicious."
In the reception pavilion, Shu Ya, Shu Qin, as well as the Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing, were all surprised to see His Highness the Crown Prince acting like this.
This … was this still His Highness the Crown Prince, who was usually serious and calm, and didn't reveal his emotions?
Xuanyuan Hancheng ignored the palace servants' expressions and continued to tease Lin Jiabao.
He calmly pulled Jia Bao's small hand and forced him to feed him snacks.
After he finished eating the snacks, he even licked Jia Bao's fingers clean one by one.
At this moment, Lin Jiabao's small face looked as if it had been cooked through.
Even the old man Yuan Fu, who was by His Highness the Crown Prince's side, felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was really … he didn't even dare to think about it (pervert) ah …
Shu Qin also thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was really scary. The way he looked at Young Mistress Lin was as if he wanted to eat him up.
Shu Qin suddenly recalled the rumor that His Highness the Crown Prince liked to eat human flesh, and his body shivered.
Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled Lin Jiabao out of the reception pavilion and into a small study in Pingle Park. "This is your small study. Do you like it?"
"Mine?
My study?
Really? "
Lin Jiabao happily looked at the exquisitely decorated study. There were many books on the bookshelf and the four treasures of the study on the table.
"I like it!
I like it very much! "Lin Jiabao replied happily.
He liked to read and study since he was young. Because he was a Shun 'er, he couldn't go to a private school to study.
Fortunately, Big Brother would sometimes teach him how to read and let him read his books at home.
Before he entered the palace, Big Brother taught him all of a sudden, and he memorized a lot.
Having a study like this was something Lin Jiabao didn't even dare to dream of.
"It's good that you like it. In the future, I will find a teacher for you from my school to teach you how to read, write, paint, and so on." Xuanyuan Hancheng wanted to find a good teacher.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I will study hard."
Lin Jiabao was very grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince was really the best person to him aside from his family.
He would study hard and not disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince.
Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged Lin Jiabao. "What should you call me … hmm …"
Lin Jiabao looked around at the silent Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing, then shook his head at His Highness the Crown Prince. His big round eyes seemed to say that it was against the rules to have someone here.
Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that Lin Jiabao was very obedient, so he waved his hand to dismiss the Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing. "You don't need to serve here. Go outside and wait."
After they left, Xuanyuan Hancheng saw that only the two of them were left. "Darling, it's just the two of us left …"
"Thank you, husband …" Lin Jiabao hugged Xuanyuan Hancheng's waist and looked up at him, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Come … Darling, I'll teach you first today." Xuanyuan Hancheng pulled Lin Jiabao to the table.
"Okay, I'll grind the ink." Lin Jiabao began to grind the ink on the inkstone.
He used to help his older brother do this work, so he was very skilled at grinding ink. It didn't take long for him to finish.
Xuanyuan Hancheng's eyes were full of smiles. It seemed that he would be able to enjoy the pleasure of having a beautiful woman to accompany him in the future.
"Do you know how to write?
Let me see? "Xuanyuan Hancheng gave Jia Bao a brush dipped in ink and taught him how to hold it properly.
Lin Jiabao held the brush and was slightly unsteady. He wrote the three words "Lin Jiabao" stroke by stroke.
The words were very big and somewhat crooked.
Xuanyuan Hancheng bent down and hugged Jia Bao from behind. He held Lin Jiabao's hand and also wrote the three words "Lin Jiabao" on the rice paper.
"What beautiful handwriting."
Xuanyuan Hancheng's handwriting was vigorous and powerful. Although Lin Jiabao didn't know how to write, he could tell that the Crown Prince's handwriting was much better than his.
Xuanyuan Hancheng then wrote the four words "Xuanyuan Hancheng" next to Lin Jiabao's name on the rice paper. "My name."
Lin Jiabao carefully copied Xuanyuan Hancheng's handwriting.
He finished writing the four words. "Look, I've finished writing … My husband's name."
These four words had so many strokes that it was difficult to write. Lin Jiabao turned around and his lips inadvertently touched Xuanyuan Hancheng's face.
"It's so well written. Let my husband kiss it." Xuanyuan Hancheng naturally wouldn't let him go. He held Jia Bao's face and kissed it.
Starting from his eyebrows and eyes, he kissed his little nose and all the way to his cherry-red lips.
Xuanyuan Hancheng used his tongue and lips to trace the shape of his baby's lips. Lin Jiabao's lips were wet from the licking and unconsciously opened slightly.

"Baby, does your husband's kiss feel good?

Then he kissed Jia Bao's delicate neck, leaving little red marks. Lin Jiabao felt very comfortable being kissed, as if he was being held in the palm of his hand.
Lin Jiabao wrapped his arms around Xuanyuan Hancheng's neck. "It feels good … I like it … Husband … I really like it when you kiss me."
Xuanyuan Hancheng was angered by Lin Jiabao's soft words.
He could only take deep breaths and hold Lin Jiabao as he slowly calmed down.
"Baby, grow up quickly."
In this life, Xuanyuan Hancheng allowed Lin Jiabao to come to his side as early as possible. However, it was also a sweet torture to be able to look at him but not be able to touch him …
"Wonderful … Truly wonderful … Your Highness, if this project is completed, it will be a great achievement for the people," Zheng Jia praised after seeing it.
Liu Zeqi also said to Dai Zhongheng, "Official Dai is really talented. I admire you."
Although Liu Zeqi didn't know much about construction, he knew that this project could withstand the peach blossom flood of Luo River. Even the experienced Zheng Jia praised it, so it couldn't be wrong.
"No, no … I don't need Official Liu to be so polite. It's all because of Your Highness' advice.
If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have been able to complete this memorial. "Dai Zhongheng stood up and bowed to Liu Zeqi.
Dai Zhongheng never thought that one day, he would be able to sit together with the Crown Prince's trusted advisors in the Eastern Palace.
Dai Zhongheng was originally a small manager in the Ministry of Works. He was very passionate about water projects.
He had many ideas about the peach blossom flood of Luo River. He had also proposed to the Minister of Works that he wanted to build a dam and branch a canal.
However, the Minister was a conservative person. He thought that the project was too big and too bold, so he didn't accept his suggestion.
Dai Zhongheng was very disappointed that his ambitions couldn't be realized.
God took pity on him and allowed him to meet the Crown Prince by chance.
The Crown Prince wasn't as cold and heartless as the rumors said. Instead, he was very approachable and chatted with him about the Ministry of Works. When they talked about water projects, Dai Zhongheng boldly told him about his ideas for the management of Luo River.
He didn't expect the Crown Prince to agree with his ideas and even discuss them with him in depth.
The Crown Prince was very knowledgeable. Often, he would be enlightened with just a few pointers and solve all the problems that had been plaguing him for a long time.
After that, the Crown Prince sent him to investigate several sections of Luo River. It took Dai Zhongheng nearly a year to complete the investigation.
After Dai Zhongheng returned to the capital, he carefully wrote a memorial and handed it to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince also attached great importance to it. After many discussions, they finally came up with the memorial that the Crown Prince had written.
Dai Zhongheng had a feeling that he was dying for his bosom friend.
"Dai Zhongheng, you don't need to be modest. It's not enough to just rely on my pointers. You have put in a lot of effort and effort. In the future, you will be a great contributor." Xuanyuan Hancheng walked down from the main seat and patted Dai Zhongheng's shoulder.
"Your Highness, this project is huge and will take a long time. It will also require a lot of manpower.
It seems that we will need to enlist soldiers for military service. This will be a great burden on the common people. "Zheng Jia analyzed.
"Yes. Enlisting soldiers for military service is definitely not enough. I plan to involve both the military and the people.
If all the resources are placed on the common people and the agriculture is neglected, the gains will not make up for the losses. "Xuanyuan Hancheng said.
"Using soldiers to repair the dams?" Liu Zeqi was also interested.
"Haha, that's great. I was just worried that I didn't have a good excuse to send troops to Luo City." Zheng Jia had already guessed the Crown Prince's idea.
"Tell me quickly.
What's going on? "Liu Zeqi still didn't understand.
"I think Your Highness wants to send soldiers to Luo City and a few other cities to station troops and build the dams.
This way, not only can the dams be built to benefit the common people, it can also guard against Prince Li, and it can also be used to spy on the situation in Li City. "Zheng Jia analyzed.
"Zheng Jia is right. Li City will enlist soldiers in the kilns and will order Prince Li to send troops to build the dams and dig the canals.
This way, Prince Li won't be able to control his own army in the short term. "Xuanyuan Hancheng said. Without an army in his hands, Prince Li would be like a toothless tiger.
Zheng Jia rolled his eyes. "When the dams and canals are built, the troops from Li City's vassal state will be dispersed. This way, Prince Li won't be able to do anything."
"Haha, this Luo River Water Project is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone." Liu Zeqi finally understood.
"Zeqi, this time I will ask Imperial Father to send you.
Dai Zhongheng, you too. Go back and prepare well. The imperial edict will be announced tomorrow morning. "Xuanyuan Hancheng said to them.
"Yes.
We definitely won't let you down. "Liu Zeqi and Dai Zhongheng said in unison.
"It's getting late. You two go back and prepare." Xuanyuan Hancheng prepared to go have lunch with his darling.
"You can all disperse."
Xuanyuan Hancheng returned to Pingle Park and had lunch with Lin Jiabao. They enjoyed the pleasure of feeding each other. The sweet atmosphere made the palace servants not dare to look at each other.
After that, Xuanyuan Hancheng accompanied Lin Jiabao to take an afternoon nap.
Xuanyuan Hancheng only slept for a short while before he quietly got up.
He took the imperial edict to the imperial study. Xuanyuan Hancheng and Imperial Father stayed in the imperial study for an entire afternoon.
On the morning of the third day, the Crown Prince sent a memorial to build the dams of the Luo River to prevent the peach blossom flood and dig the canals.
The Emperor announced that the Ministry of Revenue would allocate funds to enlist corvee labor in Luo City, Li City, Jiangzhou, and Huzhou.
In addition, he sent troops to Luo City to build the dams and dig the canals together with the people.
Liu Zeqi was appointed as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and led 20,000 soldiers. Liu Zeqi was in command of the troops sent to Li City and other places.
Dai Zhongheng was appointed as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works and was in charge of the Luo River Project.
Liu Zeqi and Dai Zhongheng went forward to receive the titles. Dai Zhongheng was especially excited. He had actually been promoted twice in a row as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works.
Dai Zhongheng felt the envious and jealous gazes of the people around him. He vowed to do his job well and not disappoint the Emperor and the Crown Prince's appreciation and grace.
